The Nevada Green Party filed a lawsuit earlier this year, alleging that the April petition deadline for newly-qualifying parties is too early. Recently, the party and the state agreed to postpone proceedings in the case until June 2015. Both sides hope the 2015 legislature will ease the deadline.
ALL UNEQUAL ballot access laws must be attacked 24/7 — so that SCOTUS someday will understand the EQUAL in the EQUAL Protection clause in 14th Amdt, Sec. 1.
The EVIL rotted robot gerrymander HACKS will delay, delay and delay more and more to get past the next election.
I would think an April deadline would be fair if the number of signatures required on petitions are reasonable. Of course, I still think the only fair law for 3rd party and Independent candidates is the filing fee. This is what all 3rd party and Independent advocates should be working for.
Don’t you folks get tired of standing out in the sun or the cold asking people to sign your petition, not to mention the insults you receive from those who are staunch Democrats or Republicans and attempt to make you feel like you are some type of un-American alien because you don’t participate in the so-called Two Party system?
You’ve tougher skins and restraints than I if you do.
